But would Raunchy agree? Let's say some writings turn up in the archives saying that Sotomayor is *not* firmly committed to upholding Roe v. Wade. Would Raunchy still be as in favor of her nomination as she was yesterday? Would she even consider her a woman any more? Are women in Raunchy's mind allowed to disagree with her and her causes and still be considered women? I think we've seen here on Fairfield Life that they are not; just look at how she has treated Sal, and the names she has called her when she agrees with one or more of the men here and did not "toe the radical feminist line."
Raunchy comes across to me as a very imbalanced person, driven by destructive emotions. She doesn't seem mindful of her underlying motivations. She blows the way of her emotions and her old-style feminist agenda which she probably adopted early on. It's now become a negative habit rather than anything constructive or helpful. Strangely enough it's just these type of "knee-jerk feminists" that probably do the least for the cause of women. They actually play against it. It's a kind feminist McCarthyism that instead of imagining a Communist behind every tree, imagines the most sexist and disparaging elements in the most mundane stimuli. It's a POV inherently colored with it's own bias, so much so that they cannot see the world clearly. They cannot see things as they are.
A recent hilarious comment was "I see Obama's pick for SCOTUS as an opportunity for the Leftwing to step back and reflect on their deplorable behavior toward Hillary and Palin and deal with some cognitive dissonance and reconcile it with Obama's decision to pick a Hispanic woman."
Does any reasonable person actually believe people are still thinking about some imagined deplorable behavior towards Hillary or Sarah Palin? It seems to me that both of these people and their critics have long since moved on. Yet RD (and others) still lie entrenched in last years same old thought patterns. Why the tenacious clinging RD? Maybe you should get checked. It ain't working.
